I think Joni would get a kick out of Groucho. Maybe she'd take up
cigar smoking and since you don't inhale cigars, that would be some
improvement, healthwise.
As for the other four guests, one would be Grace Slick because she has
such an original mind & wit & I've always wanted to meet her. I would
love to see her & Joni interact. Jon Hendricks seemed like a very
personable fellow when I met him briefly at Jazz Alley & I'm sure he &
Joni would have a lot to talk about. Being somewhat of a movie buff
it would be fun to have someone like Robert Altman there. He would
have a lot of interesting stories to tell. And as a fourth, I'll say
Katharine Hepburn because she's my favorite living movie star and she
always has something interesting to say (or at least she always says
it in an interesting way - stone cold sober I find her absolutely
fascinating!)
